Public Safety:
2008 Sturgis Falls Celebration

1. You MUST be 21 years of age AND have a valid driver's license in your possession in order to obtain a wristband to purchase beer. Security people with mobile electronic age verifiers will be spot checking IDs throughout the weekend. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of the Sturgis Falls Celebration Board's focus on curbing underage drinking and our ZERO Tolerance policy.
2. No liquor, beer or wine may be brought into the Cedar Falls parks during the Sturgis Falls Celebration Weekend - June 27 through June 29, 2008.  No Coolers!
3. Weather Cancellation Policy - When inclement weather is imminent, a decision will be made to postpone or cancel that day’s activities depending on the severity of the predicted conditions and the public’s safety.  Lightning is the biggest factor.
4. Cedar Falls City Council has passed the following ordinance: "Dogs and cats are prohibited from public playgrounds or parks during the last Friday, Saturday and Sunday of June each and every year, except if such animals are part of an organized signposted public activity such as a canine frisbee contest".
5. NO bicycles, skateboards, roller blades, scooters or the like are allowed in any of the parks (including Overman).  Please use a bike rack for your bike! (See map for location of bike racks).
6. The Franklin Street/Center Street Bridge WILL be open to two-way single lane traffic.
7. If flooding occurs in Island Park (Carnival location) and/or Tourist Park (Entertainment/Rock'nRoll location), Gateway Park will be used as a backup location for either &/or both.
8. Do not sit on the curb to watch the parade with your feet in the street where there is any chance of being hit by a parade entry (especially on corners-i.e. 3rd and Main!) 
9. Please keep the interior sidewalks in Overman Park clear for emergency personnel.  Stopping on the interior sidewalk also impairs the vision of seated spectators. Please be respectful of others!
10. There is NO Soliciting of any kind allowed in the Parks during the Celebration weekend!
11. Please obey the reduced speed signs and use the pedestrian cross-walks on 1st Street between Main Street and Iowa Street.
12. Sartori Hospital will have a First Aid/Rest Tent in Overman Park and on the Green in Sturgis Park Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
13. Mosquito control:  Professional pest control personnel will use only legally authorized chemicals in line with all local, state & federal regulations.  A PUBLIC NOTICE  will be posted in all treated parks.
